Elie Hobeika's Legacy is his work towards eliminating Sectarianism and Confessionalism from the Lebanese Power Structure, in order to build a Modern Society in Lebanon, keen on Social Justice and Good Governance. He favored de-confessionalizing the Lebanese Government and ALL Political life, provided all participants in the democratic process commit themselves to constitutional separation of church & state...

Mr. Elie Hobeika In Pictures

There is no democracy in the world that shouldtolerate Air Raids being done for decades by IAFat its cities, without taking every reasonable stepto stop the attacks. The big question raised byIsrael's military actions in Lebanon is why all this"DISDAIN." ?The answer, according to the laws of humanity, isthat it is racism, jealousy and pure HATE, to attackcivilian targets, for so long in Lebanon, as everyeffort is made to reduce to rubble any peace, andmaximize civilian casualties in Lebanon in order tosatisfy the consecutive Israeli leader's lust forviolence, destruction and death, in Lebanon andbeyond, because of a "culture of Violence" sopervasive in Israel and in USA.If the objectives cannot be achieved without"clear excuses", the Israelis and the Americans will"invent or Create" a "terrorist Act", in a false flagoperational scheme, to get their ways and continuethe hegemonic lust for "energy" control and"protection".Some civilian casualties, that must be"proportional" to their Strategic Goals, or collateralDamage, as they call it, amounting to severalhundreds of thousands of DEATHS, in Iraq, orin Lebanon, or Palestine, or anywhere else, is"worth it" in their book...Casualties that would be prevented by the Peaceful coexistence, is never in the cards for Israel orUSA's administrations.

This is all well and good for democratic nationsthat deliberately locate their military bases awayfrom civilian population centers.Israel has its air force, nuclear facilities andlarge army bases in locations as remote asanything can be in that country. It is possiblefor an enemy to attack Israeli military targetswithout inflicting "collateral damage" on itscivilian population, because Israel has receivedand continue to receive TENS of Billions of USdollars, in order to turn its territory into anOffensive Military Machine, bent on terrorizingthe whole area for decades, until all energysupplies in the area run out, then, they might"consider" PEACE.

Hezbollah and others, by contrast, try to protecttheir countrymen and women, the best way theycan, with the little means they have to operatewith, and mount a military Resistance structure,out of densely populated areas, because over theyears, Israel has forcibly pushed the populationsof south Lebanon to head north, in order to escapethe brutality if its daily bombardments, andrepetitive brutal incursions and invasions of southLebanon, for over forty years.

They launch antipersonnel missiles with ball-bearingshrapnel, designed locally, because they cannotacquire adequate defensive weapons from theWEST, to defend themselves, and they do that,in order by to maximize Israeli military and othercasualties, in a desperate attempt to keep Israelioffenses from annihilating whole villages and townsthroughout Lebanon. .This chorus of futile and "shy" condemnation ofIsrael over the years, actually encourages theIsraelis to operate freely and terrorize cities,towns, villages, Hospitals, ambulances in all civilian areas, all over Lebanon and beyond.

While Israel does everything to maximize civiliancasualties on Lebanese civilians, in a desperateattempt to foment civilian unrest, and condemnationof the Hizbullah Resistance, a diplomat commentedyears ago, that Israel "have mastered the harsharithmetic of DISDAIN. . . .Lebanese casualties play in their favor and Pals.casualties play in their favor." These are groupsthat send children to schools like everybody elsein this world, and sometimes without the child orthe parent knowing that his child will ever comeback home from school, or might be sacrificedin an Israeli or American Air Raid somewhere.Several thousands have died in these raids insouth Lebanon, Iraq, or Afghanistan recently.

This misuse of civilians as targets and fuel forAmerican and Israeli Proxy Wars, requires areassessment of the laws of war and the GenevaConventions, and the ICC in the Hague. The distinction between combatants andcivilians -- easy when combatants wereuniformed members of armies that foughton battlefields distant from civilian centers-- is very easy in the present context.Now, there is a continuum of "BESTIALITY",Made In Israel and USA worldwide, laws mustchange, in order to take to courts and indict theBarbarians in the Pentagon and Tel-Aviv.Near the most civilian end of this continuum arethe pure innocents -- babies, hostages and otherscompletely uninvolved; at the more combatantend are civilians who willingly harbor Resistance,provide material resources and serve as humansupport; in the middle are those who support theHizbullah fighters politically, materially andspiritually, just like in the second world war.

The laws of war and the rules of morality mustadapt to these realities. An analogy to domesticcriminal law is instructive: A bank robber whotakes a teller hostage and fires at police frombehind his human shield is guilty of murder ifthey, in an effort to stop the robber from shooting,accidentally kill the hostage. The same shouldbe true of Israelis who use civilians as targetsfrom behind F16s and F15s and SAAR navalgun boats, and indiscriminately and brutally theyfire their rockets. The Israeli state' terroristsmust be held legally and morally responsible forthe deaths of the civilians, even if the directphysical cause was an Israeli rocket anywhere.Israel fired hundreds of thousands of mortarshells in south Lebanon over the years, theyshould be made to pay compensation anddamages to all families, towns and municipalitiesfor the horrendous damages they inflict.

Lebanon must be allowed to finish the fight thatIsrael and America started over 60 years ago,even if that means military and civilian casualtiesin Israel . A Lebanese democracy is entitled toprefer the lives of its own innocents over thelives of the civilians of an aggressor, especiallyif the latter group contains many who arecomplicit in deliberate terrorism worldwide.Israel will -- and should -- take every precautionto minimize civilian casualties on the other side,because Israel has a history of deliberatelyexecuting false flag operations and terrorismwith their US allies.On July 16, Hassan Nasrallah, the head ofHezbollah, announced there will be new"surprises," and Israel will be resisted, repelledand Beaten, wall to wall, if it continues its dailyaggressions over Lebanon, and keeps occupyingthe Shebaa farms.Cluster Bombs and other illegal weapons thatare used by IDF, IAF and other rockets will beallowed to be pre-empted by the WESTERNworld one day ????Or their use will be a perpetual, deliberateImperial Design to keep this whole area on apowder keg for ever? At least until all Energyresources have been exhausted?

Israel never left Sheba'a Farms of Lebanon in2000 and will have to do so soonest. These are "occupied" territories.Yet they serve as launching pads for attacks onLebanese civilians daily.Occupation does cause Resistance, and, Israel,the US and the UN know that the term "terrorism"seems to cause more resistance to injustice,because it is used and abused in the wrongcontext deliberately to smear just causesworldwide. The "Western world" has to come toits senses soon, and ensure that these so-calledLeaders of the State of Israel cease to be terrorists,and Israel ceases to be a safe haven for aGlobal Mafia....

MY FRIEND ELIE HOBEIKA, HK

MY FRIEND ELIE HOBEIKA, HK

One can see the wisdom in his very visage. The hazel eyes, glowing from sockets lined with deep suntan emotions, beam with the brilliance of a limelight. His hair, looking like spun silver, sits neatly in place upon his head. Yet, as he nods slightly, it sparkles, each strand in concert, as if to echo the exuberance of his own nature.
His nose, strong and stately, arcs proudly above the overshadowed yet undaunted mouth. The lips, bold as they are, show incredible kindness and generosity, especially when he curls them into one of his particularly boyish grins. His countenance mirrors his being and in that beautiful angel face one can see a child playing in a meadow.
His forty six years do not show themselves in his posture. He stands tall, erect; and moves with unmitigated grace. Always dressed in perfect clothes, his bright colors dazzle and shine in the Lebanon sun. What a sight this man is to behold! The experiences, heartbreaks, loves, joys, and victories of forty six years of living, all combine into one fascinating embodiment within him, a Heroes' Hero and the greatest man ever.
